A review by myescapistreads
Grim by M.K. Eidem
2.0
Overall, the book turned out to be a fairly good SFR with a well constructed plot and an interesting political intrigue, but I must say that I was expecting much more from a book with an average of 4.1 stars.
Where did the book dissappoint?
First star was lost for the portrayal of the two main characters. I have expected that having a single mother as a heroine and adding her two little daughters into the mix would introduce a delicious twist to the love story and a delicious complication for the hero. Sadly, that didn't happen. The love story followed a well used path of numerous other SFRs, with predictable behaviours and unimaginative dialogues.
The second star was lost due to very bad editing. And as much as I am willing to forgive an occassional spelling mistake (after all we are not perfect), I am afraid I can't be equally forgiving when it comes to grammar especially when there are missing words and mixed tenses in a sentence. I know self-publishing can be a challenging business but dear Authors please take extra time to ensure that your story reads well. Some of your Readers will inevitably turn out to be grammar nazis and point out all those unnecessary mistakes.
